Mobile Muzy

So, today I messed around with the Muzy mobile application. Designed for the iPhone, it still worked nicely on my iPad.

Starting the application, I logged into my Muzy blog and was immediately where I left off with the desktop version. Just like the desktop, there is a suite of tools.

So, I started to poke around and see what I could do. There were actually far more things that I could do here than through the web. I have access to my camera, to camera rolls on the iPad, a world of play. I’m really seeing the use of this for the iTeacher who likes to take a lot of pictures.

In my case, I pulled out a classic Words with Friends screen capture from an experiment with Andy Forgrave.

You may scoff but it takes a lot of work to come up with those many three letter words!

I decided to mark it up and see what I could do…I was intrigued by the stickers option. Clicking that downloaded a collection and I decided that this was a “Star” effort! So, I selected one and applied it to the image. Next, a little comment bubble applied and then overlaid with a bit of text. Piece of cake.

When I’m done, Muzy saved it to my Camera Roll and uploaded it to my Muzy blog!

I was very impressed with the features packed into the application. Right on the install, there were a number of apps good to go.

But, I guess you can’t please everyone so Muzy has its own app store where you can add even more functionality to the base application.

The suite of tools just continues to add to the functionality…

If you’re a picture taker, or a picture blogger, or like to do a lot with pictures with your iOS device, you’ve got to look at this. You’ll be quite impressed.
